Geology and geochemistry of the Redrock Granite and anorthosite xenoliths (Proterozoic) in the northern Burro Mountains, Grant County, New Mexico, USA [PDF]
Mineral ages from the A-type granites and anorthosite xenoliths in the Redrock area in the northwestern Burro Mountains in southwestern New Mexico cluster around ~1220–1225 Ma and provide yet another example of bimodal igneous activity during this time ...

Age and isotopic fingerprints of some plutonic rocks in the Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith with special reference to the dark wiborgite of the Ristisaari Island [PDF]
The mid-Proterozoic, locus classicus Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith of southeastern Finland and adjacent Russia comprises a varying, bimodal (silicic-basic) sequence of plutonic, subvolcanic, and volcanic rocks. At the current level of erosion silicic

REE-bearing minerals in the Rapakavi Grante, Southern Finland
The studied rock samples belong to the classic1615–1645 Ma Wiborg Rapakivi granite terrane of southeasternFinland. Geochemical studies show that the rapakivigranites and associated rocks form metaluminousto peraluminous A-type granites and plot in the ...

Hybridization in the subvolcanic Jaala-Iitti complex and its petrogenetic relation to rapakivi granites and associated mafic rocks of southeastern Finland [PDF]
The 1630 Ma Jaala-Iitti complex is an example of bimodal rapakivi granite magmatism in which the interaction of granite and diabase magmas have led locally to hybridization.

Geoheritage Meaning of Artificial Objects: Reporting Two New Examples from Russia
Geoheritage is not necessarily linked genetically to “purely” geological processes. Investigations in two urban areas of Russia allowed us to find essentially artificial objects demonstrating certain geological uniqueness.

Abstract The Chuanlinggou Formation in the northern North China preserves the world's earliest multicellular eukaryote microfossils. Here we present a high‐precision zircon U–Pb CA–ID–TIMS age of 1,641.7 ± 1.2 Ma for a tuff layer within the black shales of the Chuanlinggou Formation.
